Below is a summary for the brands we represent in the UAE categorized by type of product.
Locks

Features assessed include normal use (and abuse) forces, long-term durability, fire/smoke resistance, corrosion and temperature resistance and security, both manipulative and physical. In addition, it contains information on marking, including CE marking because BS EN 12209 is a harmonised standard.
Cylinders
BS EN 1303 Cylinder locks
The European standard applies to cylinders intended for use on locks in buildings. It identifies just one grade for category of use, three grades of durability, two grades of fire resistance, four grades of corrosion and temperature resistance, six grades of key related security based on design requirements, and three grades of attack resistance based on mechanical performance tests. The suitability of cylinders for use on fire/smoke door assemblies, additional functions within the design of the cylinder not covered by the European standard.This is particularly important when the operation of such additional functions is safety related.
Panic Devices
BS EN 179 - Emergency exit devices
This standard covers devices to be used in emergency situations where people are familiar with the emergency exit and its hardware and therefore a panic situation is most unlikely to develop. Devices operated by a lever handle or push pad may therefore be used.
BS EN 1125 - Panic exit devices
Experience relating to escape from buildings and general safety have made it desirable that doors at final exits in public buildings, places of entertainment, shops, etc should be fitted with panic devices operated by a horizontal bar.
